I have one that I use for 38/357's but the add said it works great for 9mm too. Its .358 and the cast for 9mm should be .356. Was wondering if anybody has used this for a 9mm? Or if it would work if I orderd the sizer in.356. Its the 105 gr SWC. I just dont want to led my barrel.
Thanks
Adam

Your barrel led you where?:neener:
Sure, buy a lee push-through sizer in .356. What lube are you using? If it's lee liquid alox, just tumble them in it first, then size them down. Viola. I should be a nice lite load for a 9.

Before buying a .356 sizer, slug the barrel and see what it will need. Don't forget to size it .001 over actual diameter. I am looking for a .357 sizer for my 9mm:banghead: at the moment, but for most 9's, .356 should work just fine.

I use a Lee TL 356-124-2R mould that drops at .360. I size it with Lee push through sizers in .358 and .356, and use the same bullet with both 38Spl and 9mm. Great bullet, too.

I use the 105gr sized down to .356 for use in my Walther PPK/S and my 9mm pistols (P95 & PT111 Mill Pro).
Most accruate bullet I ever shot out of my PPK/S. 4 grs of Power Pistol. 4.2 grs of Titegroup for the 9's. Just use straight wheel weights for the mold. Just ordered a Lee 6 cavity mold in .358-140gr-SWC to try out in 9MM
